A Tunis court has postponed until Jan. 28, 2014 the appeals trial of 20 persons suspected of involvement in the Sept. 14, 2012 attack on the US Embassy in Tunis. The prosecution and the defense had each appealed the May 28 decision to give the suspects two-year suspended sentences. The al Qaeda-linked group Ansar al Sharia is suspected in the attack; one of its operatives, but not ringleader Seifallah ben Hassine (a.k.a. Abu Iyad al Tunisi ), has been arrested.
